Several drug rehabilitation programs are offered that are targeted specifically for women, to meet the needs of alcoholism or drug addiction. Specific treatment methods are required due to the distinctive origin and progression of the addiction in women. The issues surrounding addiction in females can be different from men and this requires specialized treatment. We are a directory offering a list of such specialized centers that offer treatment targeted towards females in the State of Pennsylvania.

These programs offered at the centers listed by us are tailored for women, so that there is a greater chance of a woman seeking and receiving effective treatment. It has been noted that usage of drugs, such as Ecstasy remains at a high and is a source of concern for law enforcement authorities, especially among school and college students in Pennsylvania. The marijuana market in the state is also a cause of concern. However, there is hope for patients seeking help with our directory listing the centers available for overcoming drug abuse. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) states that the majority of the facilities in the state (345 or 77%) offer outpatient care as well. About 29% of the facilities, 132 centers, offer residential care for such patients with opioid treatment programs being available at 53 of the facilities.
